G11 - Week 27 - Day 2

Use of class time

Effective use of time is about efficiency. Time is a scarce input, the desired output is better performance on IB assessments. Below are the uses of time more desired by the class:
  1. Lecture
  2. Application (news articles
  3. IB questions
  4. Discussion (current events and review)
The easiest way to determine if the time use of was effective is a simple rating on a scale of 1-5. Was your time used effectively? No, not at all is a 1. Yes, completely effective use of time is a 5. If you do not answer 5 after each class, you have use class time inefficiently in regards to better course understanding and higher assessment marks.
